Automated Formal Verification of Software Network Functions

Solal Vincenzo Pirelli

Formally verifying the correctness of software is necessary to merit the trust people put in software systems. Currently, formal verification requires human effort to prove that a piece of code matches its specification and code changes to improve verifiab ...

Silent Bugs Matter: A Study of Compiler-Introduced Security Bugs

Mathias Josef Payer

Compilers assure that any produced optimized code is semantically equivalent to the original code. However, even "correct" compilers may introduce security bugs as security properties go beyond translation correctness. Security bugs introduced by such corr ...

Quantum mixed state compiling

Zoë Holmes

The task of learning a quantum circuit to prepare a given mixed state is a fundamental quantum subroutine. We present a variational quantum algorithm (VQA) to learn mixed states which is suitable for near-term hardware. Our algorithm represents a generaliz ...

Abstractions for Type-Level Programming

Olivier Eric Paul Blanvillain

Over the past decade, the Scala community has shown great interest in using type-level programming to obtain additional type safety. Unfortunately, the lack of support from the Scala compiler has been a barrier to the adoption of that technique, notably du ...

Automatic Acquisition of a Repertoire of Diverse Grasping Trajectories through Behavior Shaping and Novelty Search

Aurélien Arthur Enzo Morel

Grasping a particular object may require a dedicated grasping movement that may also be specific to the robot end-effector. No generic and autonomous method does exist to generate these movements without making hypotheses on the robot or on the object. Lea ...

Unleashing Parallelism in Elastic Circuits with Faster Token Delivery

Paolo Ienne, Andrea Guerrieri, Lana Josipovic, Ayatallah Ahmed Gamal Kamal Elakhras

High-level synthesis (HLS) is the process of automatically generating circuits out of high-level language descriptions. Previous research has shown that dynamically scheduled HLS through elastic circuit generation is successful at exploiting parallelism in ...

Just-in-time performance without warm-up

Denys Shabalin

Scala has been developed as a language that deeply integrates with the Java ecosystem. It offers seamless interoperability with existing Java libraries. Since the Scala compiler targets Java bytecode, Scala programs have access to high-performance runtimes ...

Safe Initialization of Objects

Martin Odersky, Fengyun Liu, Paolo Giosuè Giarrusso, Angelos Bimpoudis

Every newly created object goes through several initialization states: starting from a state where all fields are uninitialized until all of them are assigned. Any operation on the object during its initialization process, which usually happens in the cons ...

EVA: An Encrypted Vector Arithmetic Language and Compiler for Efficient Homomorphic Computation

Blagovesta Hristova Kostova

Fully-Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) offers powerful capabilities by enabling secure offloading of both storage and computation, and recent innovations in schemes and implementations have made it all the more attractive. At the same time, FHE is notoriously ...

Compilation and Code Optimization for Data Analytics

Amir Shaikhha

The trade-offs between the use of modern high-level and low-level programming languages in constructing complex software artifacts are well known. High-level languages allow for greater programmer productivity: abstraction and genericity allow for the same ...

Cross-Platform Language Design

Sébastien Jean Robert Doeraene

Programming languages are increasingly compiled to multiple runtimes, each featuring their own rich structures such as their object model. Furthermore, they need to interact with other languages targeting said runtimes. A language targeting only one runtim ...

Cross-Platform Language Design in Scala.js (Keynote)

Sébastien Jean Robert Doeraene

Have you ever wondered what is the secret sauce of Scala.js? What defines Scala.js, above all else, is the overarching will to make it cross-platform. A cross-platform language is both portable-most source code cross-compiles and behaves the same way on mu ...

Spatial: A Language and Compiler for Application Accelerators

Christos Kozyrakis

Industry is increasingly turning to reconfigurable architectures like FPGAs and CGRAs for improved performance and energy efficiency. Unfortunately, adoption of these architectures has been limited by their programming models. HDLs lack abstractions for pr ...

Design and implementation of an optimizing type-centric compiler for a high-level language

Dmytro Petrashko

Production compilers for programming languages face multiple requirements. They should be correct, as we rely on them to produce code. They should be fast, in order to provide a good developer experience. They should also be easy to maintain and evolve. Th ...

Simplicitly: Foundations and Applications of Implicit Function Types

Martin Odersky, Heather Christine Klug, Sandro Stucki, Fengyun Liu, Olivier Eric Paul Blanvillain

Understanding a program entails understanding its context; dependencies, configurations and even implementations are all forms of contexts. Modern programming languages and theorem provers offer an array of constructs to define contexts, implicitly. Scala ...

Unification of Compile-Time and Runtime Metaprogramming in Scala

Eugene Burmako

Metaprogramming is a technique that consists in writing programs that treat other programs as data. This paradigm of software development contributes to a multitude of approaches that improve programmer productivity, including code generation, program anal ...

Squid: Type-Safe, Hygienic, and Reusable Quasiquotes

Christoph Koch, Amir Shaikhha, Lionel Emile Vincent Parreaux

Quasiquotes have been shown to greatly simplify the task of metaprogramming. This is in part because they hide the data structures of the intermediate representation (IR), instead allowing metaprogrammers to use the concrete syntax of the language they man ...

Decrypting Local Type Inference

Hubert Plociniczak

Statically typed languages verify programs at compile-time. As a result many programming mistakes are detected at an early stage of development. A programmer does not have to specify types for every single term manually, however. Many programming languages ...

Cryptanalysis of chosen symmetric homomorphic schemes

Serge Vaudenay, Damian Vizár

Since Gentry’s breakthrough result was introduced in the year 2009, the homomorphic encryption has become a very popular topic. The main contribution of Gentry’s thesis was, that it has proven, that it actually is possible to design a fully homomorphic enc ...
